[Cards] Wand of Whispers (Patreon)

Reading by candlelight, Olivia’s eyes flared open as she read the contents of the intercepted letter. What looked like a candle in her hand was actually her treasured wand. She gripped its iron handle tightly.

With a flick of her wrist, the tip's dull flame began to sparkle with new arcane purpose.

“My lord, I’ve found it," she said. "The next full moon: less than three nights away. They are after Her Majesty.”

As she spoke, her words formed strange shapes in the air and melted into wisps of candle smoke. A nearby open window seemed to whisk it away into the cool evening air, but she knew that the message was already gone. She may be half way across the kingdom, but she knew her job was done.

She snuffed out the wand's light without a word, and was gone.
